Sprinkler valve flow increase ideas
Posted: Wed Oct 10, 2012 2:31 am
Recently having looked into the field of cylinder head modifications it has crossed my mind to apply some techniques that are used in engines and use them on a sprinkler valve!As the valve itself is the largest bottleneck between the chamber and barrel.
-Adding material to reduce turbulent pockets.(epoxy )
-Removing material to reduce turbulence.
-Radius sharp edges for flow.
-Multi seat angles to increase flow due to reduced sharp raddiuses.
-Diaphragm seat reshaping.
-Diaphragm lightening.
All this is good in theory,but in may prove different in the field.Testing and more to come!
Anyone with ideas feel free to share.
